Overview
Mudajaya Group Berhad has released its unaudited financial report for the first quarter ended 31 March 2026. The Group experienced lower revenue compared to the previous year’s corresponding quarter, but achieved a significant improvement in profit attributable to owners, mainly due to a major gain on disposal of property, plant, and equipment. This development, along with ongoing initiatives and expansion plans, provides several points of interest for shareholders and investors.
Key Financial Highlights
- Revenue: RM44.53 million, down 21% from RM56.34 million in Q1 2025.
- Profit from Operations: RM24.15 million, up more than 200% from RM7.63 million in Q1 2025.
- Profit Before Tax (PBT): RM3.51 million, up 69% from RM2.08 million in Q1 2025.
- Profit Attributable to Owners: RM1.95 million, a sharp increase from RM0.67 million in Q1 2025.
- Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share: 0.37 sen (adjusted for share consolidation).
- Total Equity: RM818.1 million (RM571.5 million attributable to owners).
- Net Assets Per Share: RM1.07.
Key Business Developments and Segmental Analysis
1. Construction Segment
- Revenue declined due to near completion of existing projects.
- However, the segment recorded a major gain on disposal of property, plant, and equipment amounting to RM27.61 million, which significantly boosted segment profit.
- This gain is a one-off item and shareholders should note it may not recur in subsequent quarters, which could affect future profitability.
2. Manufacturing and Trading Segment (China)
- Contributed RM28.49 million in revenue, nearly 61% of Group total.
- Slightly lower revenue, attributed to softer cement sales and lower average selling prices in China, due to weaker market demand.
- Segment achieved marginal profit before tax mainly due to a fair value gain on investments (RM3.94 million), as opposed to a loss in the previous year.
- Real Jade Group’s cement business in China is recognized as a national high-tech enterprise, which may benefit from lower tax rates and government support.
3. Property Segment
- Recorded higher revenue compared to Q1 2025.
- Actively clearing property inventory and launched a new residential block with a GDV of RM66 million in Batu Kawah New Township, Sarawak.
- Construction of the new block is in progress and expected to complete by Q1 2027.
4. Power Segment
- Reported a loss before tax this quarter, attributed mainly to the share of losses from the Group’s investment in RKM.
- The Group remains focused on renewable energy opportunities, including the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), Large Scale Solar (LSS), Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and the Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS).
5. Others
- Mainly comprises investment holding entities. Reported higher losses due to lower unrealised foreign exchange gains on foreign currency loans.
Financial Position and Cash Flow
- Total Assets: RM1.86 billion.
- Total Borrowings: RM599.4 million, down from RM616.5 million as at 31 December 2025 (mainly due to loan repayment and forex adjustments).
- Cash and Cash Equivalents: RM31.75 million, a significant reduction from RM81.56 million a year ago, primarily due to operating cash outflows.
- Trade Receivables: RM252.24 million net, with over RM49.5 million overdue by more than 90 days but not impaired. Shareholders should monitor the overdue receivables and potential credit risk.
Key Events, Risks, and Prospects
- Major One-off Gain: The substantial gain from asset disposal was a primary driver for Q1 2026 profits. Excluding this, underlying operating performance is weaker.
- Challenging China Market: The Group faces tough market conditions in China, including subdued demand, pricing pressure, and competition. The cement plant expansion (to 4,000 tonnes/day) is expected to boost capacity and efficiency, with anticipated annual cost savings of RMB50 million. However, market risks remain.
- Renewable Energy Focus: The Group is positioning for growth in Malaysia’s renewable energy sector, which could materially influence future earnings if it secures significant projects.
- No Dividends Declared: No dividends were paid in Q1 2026.
- No Corporate Proposals or Material Litigation: No uncompleted corporate proposals or material litigation as at report date.
Potential Price-Sensitive Developments
- Asset Disposal Gain: The recognition of a RM27.6 million gain on the disposal of property, plant, and equipment is significant and not recurring. Investors should adjust future profit expectations accordingly.
- Cement Plant Expansion in China: The successful commissioning of the upgraded clinker production line and associated cost savings could positively impact medium-term earnings, but is subject to market risks in China.
- Order Book and Pipeline: The Group’s future performance hinges on replenishing its order book, especially as existing construction projects near completion.
- Receivables and Cash Flow: The high level of overdue receivables and significant cash outflows from operations may affect liquidity if not addressed.
Outlook
Mudajaya’s outlook remains mixed: while the construction sector in Malaysia is supported by government infrastructure spending, the Group’s China operations face ongoing headwinds. Execution of the renewable energy strategy and the realization of expected benefits from the cement plant expansion are key catalysts to watch. Investors should closely monitor developments in these areas and the Group’s future order wins and cash flow management.
